Also with CDs I miss sitting down and studying those big old 12" album covers and booklets!!!

At least you still get the liner notes. Pretty much why I can't cop digital downloads. I wanna know who played what and where it was recorded and who produced/engineered etc etc. I'm thankful all that info is still available on a CD.....gonna be a sad day when liner notes go the way of the dodo.

Still don't get why you guys feel you can't listen to an album in it's entirety on CD or ipod though. I do it daily.......and I'm not limited to being within hearing distance of the turntable either......my entire record collection comes with me.
